Does the story change when the creation comes back after destruction?

[Mr. Talin Rowe asked: God is eternal, the creation isn’t and goes into a dormant state at the end of creation. Does the story change? This makes God the eternal Father of all souls onto eternity doesn’t it?

Swami replied:- The creation is not exactly a film reel, which can’t be changed for the next show. It is a subtle state in which the story of creation is preserved for the next show of the cycle. Since it is preserved in the unimaginable awareness-mingled-imaginable awareness of the Father of heaven, some alterations can be done if God wishes to do so. God is absolutely eternal since He doesn’t have both beginning and end. The creation is relatively eternal in the sense that it had beginning and its end is not there as long as God wishes so.
